event id 34 w32time

I'm trying to synchronize my system time with an internet time server and I keep getting "an error occured while Windows was synchronizing with x.x.com". I've used all the available servers on the list to no avail, including the servers at http://tf.nist.gov/service/time-servers.html. I even tried re-registering w32tm.exe and it's still not synchronizing.

Operating system: Vista Home Premium 64

Please let me know if you need anymore information. This fix is very important to me. Thanks in advance.

authen-tech, I've tried the link that you've provided, but unfortunately I'm not running Mcafee. TheCapedPlodder, to answer your question I'm running the free edition of AVG without the firewall. I have checked to see if the firewall component is installed, but it isn't. Windows firewall is also disabled.

Out of curiosity, I went to this website: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/, to see whether or not UDP 123 is opened, and the site is telling me that it's closed. I wasn't sure how legit this website is so I logged on to my Verizon router and configured the port forward option to open udp 123. This still failed. Maybe I'm doing something wrong configuring the router? Or is that website a bluff?

Can you configure your router as the time source and use it to get the time from the Inernet?

I will try to do that, but I can't right now because I'm at work. I will post my results tonight. I really appreciate the quick response as this is very very important to me. This laptop is brand new and I've never had this issue with my old laptop that had XP. If you have any other suggestions that I can do right now, please let me know...although my network at work is probably blocking UDP 123, so I guess it would be pointless, huh?

Then configure the time sync dialogue to use the IP address rather than the FQDN e.g. 207.46.197.32

Cheers,

Plod

My router is set to automatically sync with a time server at ntp.actiontec.com. The router syncs fine with it when I force a sync. Although adding this time server to my operating system, it continues to error out. I also tried inputting the router's ip and it still fails. I don't understand what's blocking UDP 123 if canyouseeme.org says it's closed.
I also pinged the time servers listed in http://tf.nist.gov/service/time-servers.html, the default servers wasn't pingable but the others were. I still receive the error. I'm so lost right now.

Oh my gawd....I am so stupid. You guys...I am so sorry for wasting your time. Gosh I'm so dumb. I frickin had my DATE wrong! haha. So I corrected the date and now I'm fine....oh well. I guess it's always the smallest things that we miss. Thanks again guys. I'd like to give both of you points. Hopefully I can figure it out..
